Head Gasket on '08 T&C
 
My '08 T&C has a leaking head gasket. I have been told the following and have no idea how legitimate the information is. Any reassurance or suggestions greatly appreciated.
1. In 2008 Chrysler went to a lifetime power train warranty, but made it not transferrable to subsequent owners, yes?
2. Have there been any service bulletins that might relate to warranty coverage for a second owner?
3. I have been told the work would have run approximately $900.00 but that the dealer will do the work for $400.00 since I was only weeks outside of the used car warranty. Does this sound like its in the right ballpark, or is someone blowing smoke up my tailpipe?
4. Re; the used car warranty, dealer says that they buy this coverage from an independent insurance broker and legally have NO flexibility in interpreting the guidelines. Make sense?
I hope these are appropriate questions for this forum and look forward to any information that members might offer.
Thanks,
Rob

the life time warranty is for the first owner ONLY even if u transfer it to your kid its gone.
Let the dealer do it for 400 then it would be a good will deal

T & C Headgasket
 
Kevin,
Thanks for your response. Had the dealer do the work; they replaced the head gasket as well as a front cover gasket, intake gaskets and a few others as well, and held to the $400.00. First time dealing with these folks but they seem to be playing it straight.
